“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Despite heroic efforts by a small cadre of people in the field, the vast majority of senior PIs in clinical psychology continue to be uninterested or hostile to OS practices. It makes me think they just don't care, and it's really depressing.

New paper led by @drlynam.bsky.social on the need for more training in and engagement with open science practices in clinical psych programs. It has been difficult to make progress due to a variety of barriers, including students working in labs uninterested or hostile to these approaches.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: Open science discussions that are largely hostile and condescending toward non-adopters will not motivate behavior change. Are we doing altruism, or antagonism? Signed, someone who practices open science

Cutting Medicaid & Medicare isn’t bold. It’s cruel. Fewer people living w/ dignity, fewer lives saved, & more families left to suffer. There is nothing “beautiful” about taking care away from the sick, the elderly, the poor. There is nothing strong about leaving people behind. zurl.co/Fl1oQ

EPA employees put names to 'declaration of dissent' over agency moves under Trump

The letter is rare public criticism from agency employees who could face blowback for speaking out against a weakening of funding and federal support.

Ira Hyman@irahyman.bsky.social · last yr.

Plagiarism, AI slop, nonexistent citations, erroneous claims from real citations. If the science doesn’t fit the story you want to tell? Just make it up. Dress up disinformation and conspiracy theories in the guise of science and academic research. Halloween comes early for the RFK team.

False information that is part of a broader disinformation narrative. This is easily checked. Now the question is how widely it gets distributed without correction. I anticipate that some in right-wing media will promote Trump’s lie. I anticipate that it’ll be widely spread on social media. WTF.
